query_posts() should support offset

Description

query_posts() doesn't support "offset," which is hugely annoying. You have to resort to posts_per_page=5&paged=2 to see posts 6-10, for example.

Try this patch out. It adds a new (private) query var: 'offset'

Offset moves the starting post by the specified number of posts.

e.g., 'offset=2' would start with third post (2 posts offset from the first post). This is how it works in Movable Type.

You can use this to specify a range of posts that was not previously possible.

e.g. 'offset=2&posts_per_page=10'

Previously, you would have had to query the first 12 posts and used PHP to ignore the first two. This is much cleaner, more efficient, and easy for people to understand.
